Lets talk Video and Audio Tape Deterioration :

All video, ( VHS, VHS-c, Betamax, all Sony 8 variations, Mini DV ), and audio tape have a shelf life of around 12 to 15 years. This is if they are stored in a climate controlled environment and especially nowhere near any magnets such as the sizes of magnets used in speakers.
Once they are stored in the attic or garage those years tend to drop a bit because of the excessive changes in temperature.
What this means is the magnetic signal of the tape and the tape material itself start to deteriorate, getting brittle, possibly breaking, causing substantial losses in color, audio, and tracking.
If you have preserved memories on video or audio tape of Special birthdays, family gatherings, Christmas’s , and the list goes on and on, it is time to convert those memories to either DVD, CD, or a Digital file that will allow you to archive your special memories on your computer,
external hard drive, or the cloud for many years to come.

There are a few ways to do this:
1st You can have a professional company do the video to DVD or File conversion for you. There are numerous online companies, but be careful as to how they charge. You can also look into what companies are available in your hometown. (As a matter of fact this is what our company does, please give us a call.)
2nd: You can do it yourself. You will need a working playback deck or video camera, conversion software, and some type of capture device that will connect to your computer.
3rd : A DVD recorder/VHS combo deck. This allows you to transfer your VHS only directly to DVD. This can only be used for VHS or VHS-c if you have the adapter.

As always if you have any questions or need any Video Slide Shows, VHS or Sony8 video, photo, or audio to DVD or Digital File conversions done, please call , email, or check out our website, Oh Yeah, and please like us on Facebook, thanks Bill
